April brides - are you rescheduling?

View Quoted Comment

Wow, so sorry! That's insane. They should understand that it's out of our hands. I feel like it should not be legal to do that at this time. My original venue at first was going to do a partial refund (per contract) but actually changed their minds and offered a refund.

View Quoted Comment Ah you're very lucky! I'm glad it worked out so well for you! We do love our venue, but the fact that we can only reschedule once is making our decision about a new date really difficult

I am a March bride who rescheduled once already. I am not moving my wedding again but just going with the flow. My venue is being very accommodating and I am just hoping for the best

Our wedding was originally being planned for 10/02/2021, however, we've already made the decision to postpone to a date TBD in 2022 due to various reasons including COVID not only from a health standpoint but also a finances standpoint as we know several of our friends and family have been severely impacted from the effects of COVID. Thankfully, the few vendors we have reserved are working with us on our rescheduled date.

We did lose money on our venue (about $800) but that was unrelated to COVID. Due to other situations we decided to move closer to home (about 45 minutes away versus our original 4.5 hours away).

View Quoted Comment Hi Candace,
My Wedding is not until May but I have the same concerns regarding my out of town guest. I just got the idea (maybe cornie ) to send my guest an electronic Survey. I need to reach out to my Venue first to see if I can even reschedule, but if I can my next step is to get the temperature on Guest. I have invited 100 Guest and my venue has been doing Weddings that size for the past 3 months. Maybe doing something similar will help you decide.

My wedding is scheduled for May 8th after postponing from May 9th last year. NYC currently has a lot of restrictions and I am afraid that by May they're won't be a big difference. My reception venue restricted dancing and currently indoor dining isnt allowed. I also have my ceremony booked at the botanical garden, and theyre max is 25 people and everyone has to leave after the ceremony.
While I do feel some restrictions will be lifted, I won't have anything close to a normal event by May. Which we are not okay with. My FH and I have decided to request refunds in hopes that we can recover something.

Hugs!
We have an date for April Easter weekend. We are planning and adding our friends and family to help support this emotionally and all the other -ally’s lol but if it gets too crazy then we are open for Augustus. With Covid and all. Keeping an open heart for flexibility and keeping all safe and healthy.

We are moving forward with our wedding on April 10th but it will be very intimate with immediate family only.

View Quoted Comment You’re very welcome!

We were planning for 4/10/21 but have been hesitant to book or buy anything!! We talked today and decided to postpone til the Fall. We don’t want to pick and choose who to invite. And now I feel more excited to start planning—which I haven’t felt for the past year with Covid around the world. So it must be right!

I’m
Planning on keeping it April 10, as long as I can, unless I absolutely have to reschedule

My wedding is April 3 in Atlanta and moving forward as planned. We have a guest list of 100 people, a large majority in and around the Atlanta area.

My wedding is in April 2022 and I am planning on still having my wedding we've been waiting forever so no matter what I will not be rescheduling

I just had this conversation with my family and my fiancé family this weeekedn. Our wedding is 4.3.21 and we are not changing our date at all! Luckily my future MIL offered to do the reception in their backyard which will fit our 100-guest list. I am adamant about having the ceremony at the original location because it’s a beautiful cliff in LA county. With LA county getting worse and probably going to have to have some restrictions. We have talked and decided that if I do not hear anything soon, we will just plan the backup as our plan A. We will just have the ceremony with immediate family and stream the ceremony to the rest of the guest who will be at the reception spot.

I am getting super worried that my venue has not been able to provide me with any update, they have been very good with communication, but they are unable to say for sure I can have my wedding or if there will be any restrictions. My fiancé and I do not want mask or social distancing, which I know is selfish, but our families aren’t as worried about the virus. Also, by doing the backyard reception would save us so much money. I have only given the venue our deposit and they are not asking for more until they tell me what is going on, so if I lose that its not as bad as losing the full amount.

View Quoted Comment Awww my fingers are crossed for you!!!

I really thought by April things would be more normal but it's not seeming so. We actually picked April 8th because it's a Thursday but in 2years it will be a Saturday so we can have a sequel wedding. Plus we live in nyc so we can do a nyc picture taking adventure this April and in 2yrs do something upstate with friends and family saving a ton on that ny wedding. We are still going to the church but calling it a minimony. My family is having more trouble with this than we are and both our families are planning to crash our ceremony so we'll see if they're even allowed to do that by then. I told them all if they come to the church that's fine but there's no reception after it's just about us this year. Our parents, siblings and kids will be there but anyone else is unplanned.

We’re getting married on our originally scheduled (since Jan 2020) weekend of 4/23. We originally were scheduled Saturday 4/24 in Florida but the venue just notified us they’re limiting capacity to 50 or less. We changed venues to accommodate our (best guess) 150 guests for outdoor ceremony and reception. We’re getting married damnit and I cannot take rescheduling another single thing. Even shifting the date from Saturday to Friday we’ve had vendors refuse to refund our deposit and one vendor tried to charge $100 MORE!! I’m so over it all and hoping we can dance the night away outside with all our people in a healthy and safe way. Fingers crossed!


It’s very difficult to know what to do. Half of our battle is we have no clue how many of our invites 220 guests will actually show up. So much depends on the vaccine. This really sucks for all of us but it’s comforting to know other people are dealing with the same. Good luck to everyone!
I feel like we’ve already survived pre-marital boot camp working from home/quarantining so that’s a plus.

Is your wedding going to be outdoors or indoors? Also, how many people are coming?

My wedding is April 10th in Austin Texas with everything outdoors so I'm going to continue on and proceed with the event. I've ordered custom wedding masks and will require them for the ceremony and the dancefloor.

I completely understand your fears. It's such a scary time and the threat of a super-spreader event is a terrible burden to hold on top of everything else.

I will say, I have some friends who have gone to three weddings since October and none of them have been spreader events. Everyone wore masks for most of the evening. By the time everyone was drinking and dancing pushing the mask policy a little, most of the older at-risk people had gone home.

Hope this helps.
